These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of this website and services. By accessing our website or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, website content is informational only and does not constitute an online offer, booking system, or contractual guarantee of in‑branch services.

Services are subject to system availability, operational requirements, stock availability, and eligibility checks. Completion cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. We may temporarily suspend or withdraw any service without notice where operationally necessary (including cash shortages, system outages, or staffing constraints).

Vehicle tax and DVLA‑related transactions are processed subject to DVLA rules, eligibility checks, and system availability. We cannot guarantee successful completion of DVLA transactions where requirements are not met. Always refer to GOV.UK for official DVLA guidance and fees.

Digital products, including but not limited to mobile phone top‑ups, prepaid vouchers, gift cards (e.g., One4all), activation codes, and electronically delivered PINs, are generally non‑refundable once the transaction is completed and the product is issued or activated. Customers are responsible for ensuring the correct mobile number, email address, or recipient details are provided before completing the transaction. This does not affect any statutory rights you may have where the product is faulty, not as described, or where a technical error occurred. If you believe a digital product is defective, please contact us promptly for assistance.

Customers are responsible for ensuring international shipments comply with customs regulations, prohibited items rules, sanctions laws, export controls, and destination‑country import requirements. Customs duties, taxes, inspection fees, import charges, border delays, seizures, returns, or destruction of items may apply in accordance with the policies of postal operators, courier providers, customs authorities, border agencies, and destination‑country laws. We are not liable for delays, refusals, confiscations, or additional charges imposed by customs authorities, border agencies, or courier providers.
